and what’s worse is every shithead stan out there has works they can point to like “but look at all this ART we would have missed out on if he had been held accountable from the beginning”

how do you quantify all the cinema that could have been? How do you account for the careers abandoned because giving up on your dream was better than putting up with Roger Ailes or Harvey Weinstein or Louis CK or any number of other power players/geniuses/auteurs/rock stars/what the fuck ever?

You can’t.

Her refusal to drop out before Super Tuesday like the moderates did for Biden completely torpedoed both Bernie's chances of winning and her standing with the movement.

Her refusal to endorse Bernie when he needed it both in 2016 and 2020 looms large. Her bad faith attacks on him and his followers was beyond insulting. Her insistence in further villifying him while Neo-nazis were openly attacking him is outright loathsome.

I don't want to hear about it anymore. I'm done with her. When someone shows you who they are, believe it, and she showed us who she is. A hypocrite that speaks the language of populism, progressivism, and anti-estahlishment without the actual action that goes with it. She'll disavow big money until she needs it to keep a doomed run going. She'll call out the establishment until she needs them to fend off actual progressives. She'll speak of justice but offer little behind symbolic gestures of reading names of the dead.

I went into this election cycle very fond of Elizabeth Warren, saw her as the next in line to take on the progressive brand should Bernie stumble (or not enter before he did). Now I see that's all bullshit. Electoralism is a fickle thing, and there are very few you can trust within it. I thought she was on our side.

But a capitalist is a capitalist, which she emphasizes over and over again she is, and they'll defend their class interest over all else.

Bad news: it wasn’t deliberate and will not come up later
